Duplicate Photo Purge
10 pointsDigital Hygiene
Delete the identical, blurry photos of your pet/food and keep only the one perfect shot.
How to complete Duplicate Photo Purge
Burst shots and retries leave your camera roll clogged with near-identical frames of the same plate of food or sleeping cat. Keeping only the sharpest version reclaims storage and makes the album worth scrolling again.
- Open your photo app's Duplicates tool if it has one (iOS Albums > Utilities and Google Photos both do)
- Go burst by burst: pick the one in-focus, well-lit frame and delete the rest
- Zoom to full size before deciding, since blur and closed eyes hide at thumbnail scale
- Empty the Recently Deleted folder so the space is actually freed
Tips
- Sort by file size or use a deduper like Gemini or Remo to find exact copies fast
- Decide quickly; a 'maybe' pile defeats the purpose, so when two are equal keep one and move on
What counts as done
Each subject has a single keeper, Recently Deleted is empty, and storage has dropped.
